active/focus borders COMMENTS

Welcome to my Comments Pages

Please note. I get a few hundred emails a week from visitors asking for help, or posing questions on how to modify my demos to suit their application and I read them all. Unfortunately I only have a limited amount of time to spend answering these questions.

So if I do not reply, please do not be offended, and if I do reply then you are one of the lucky ones.

If you are asking for permission to use any of my demonstration then please email me with your request stu{at}cssplay.co.uk.

Duncan:-This is an excellent concept and i want to use it for navbar buttons instead of the javascript alternative.

But I've encountered a problem in Firefox - I need to click each button twice, once to trigger the 'on' state and once to actually fire the link. This does not happen in IE7 - one click is enough to do both. Any ideas why this might be?(20.04.2007, 13:44)

Fahed:-Stu,

I've had a look at the code and i really can't understand what is going on to achieve this result.

Could you spell it out for me.(30.04.2007, 10:13)

Fahed:-Stu, another thing, I just came across:

a:focus
{
outline-style: none;
}

Why isn't this sufficient?(30.04.2007, 10:27)

Stu:-Fahed, outline-style is not recognised by Internet Explorer.(30.04.2007, 19:08)

Fahed:-Thanks Stu. Can anyone point out the JS way to do this? It would be interesting to compare against.(30.04.2007, 19:15)

Dave:-Hi -
Thanks so much for your great ideas! I've used a handful for different projects, and they have all worked very well.

I am using an adapted version of your image map tutorial on this site: davidgarlitz.com, and there I am using the absolute positioned ems to separate the text from the image and make them both clickable links. Can the dots be removed in this case? As I am already using the absolute positioning for the purpose of separating the text, I can't work out how I could also incorporate the dot-removal principles here.. If you've got a sec, could you take a look under the hood?

richard:-Hi,
How do I make a hyperlink underline longer than the length of the link? The 'active border' demo is similar to the effect I am after except the text does not change colour on mouseover, only the line colour.(12.11.2009, 10:18)

Deepak Oberoi:-I like CSS play. I have used it for many of my projects. Mostly for IE issues. It helps a lot. Thanks for this great website.
